Walgreens is up and in business.
  • Welcome,

    My intent when I created this site was to apply what I'd learned at college in my community, and to champion the efforts of South Orange – Maplewood’s young adults. I also wanted to provide resources for local students.

    This blog includes a comprehensive scholarship listing, visited 340 times, that I hope helps those looking for scholarships for college.

    C [olumbia] ++, 4 Students is hands down the most popular post about local students. It's been visited 1,862 times.

    Writing about Ultimate Frisbee in our community was a chance for me to celebrate a unique sport that local young adults and their parents love.

    Curious what order to read these posts? I recommend reading the "About" page first. Start on July 9th, 2008, the beginning, to follow the evolution of this blog.

    Thanks for visiting!

In 2011 and 2012, Springfield Avenue began … Read more

Vlog: Boston Convention, 2011

As a alum I’m happy to provide a glimpse into what makes the organization so special. It’s often hard communicating why I love this organization. Participating built my foundation as a student and a person. It’s even better when someone communicates the same thing. So you see, it’s not just me who is passionate about … Read more
